SNOW-LY DOES IT! (win a copy of this festive classic)

When I moved here from ‘Down Under’, 13 years ago, I noticed several things: Every single person in the entire country knows the words to Angels. You guys drink. A lot. On school nights too.Christmas is even MORE magical in winter – the dark evenings showing off twinkly Xmas lights, steaming cups of mulled wine warming your frozen fingers, the annual ‘will it, won’t it’ anticipation of a white Christmas.Then there’s The Snowman movie – that perennial festive favourite you can’t even think about without humming that song. You know the one I mean. Last year the classic was joined by The Snowman and the Snowdog, created to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the original. To help you get into the festive mood we’ve got three copies of the Snowman and the Snowdog to give away! Enter by following the Rafflecopter prompts below.
